    50 Cent Once Declined My Request For A Photograph – Davido

    Grammy-nominated singer Davido has recounted his first encounter with 50 Cent and how he got snubbed by the American rapper.

    Speaking on The Breakfast Club, Davido said he was 14 at the time and his family was in Las Vegas celebrating his older brother’s 21st birthday.

    Davido, a fan of Lloyd Banks, took a picture with him.

    However, when he approached 50 Cent for a photo, he was bluntly refused.

    Years later, Davido reminded 50 Cent of the incident and the rapper responded with a nod to Davido’s current success, saying, “You are here now, right?”

    He said: “The first time I ever saw 50 Cent, I was a kid in Vegas. I was like ‘can I have a picture’, he said, ‘No.’

    “My brother was turning 21, my dad took everybody to Vegas but I was 14 so I can’t do nothing. They were doing the whole thing. I was just sitting in the lobby. I used to love Lloyd Banks, he was my favourite. So, I saw him and I went to him and took a picture with him. Then I saw 50 Cent, I went to him and said in Nigerian accent, ‘Wow! 50 Cent, I love you. Can I have a picture?’ He said, ‘No’ and just walked off.

    “I told him about the incident years later when we met as colleagues and he said, ‘You are here now, right?”.

    The two have since collaborated with 50 Cent bringing Davido on stage as a surprise guest performer at his Madison Square Garden show in New York.
